House For Sale £775,000
Quay Street, Falmouth

Spectacularly sited, backing onto King Charles Quay and enjoying fabulous views across Falmouth Harbour and the surrounding countryside from many principal rooms, this waterside home is full of history and character believed to date from 1836. The property is set across four floors with very flexible accommodation including five double bedrooms (all with en-suite facilities). Situated on the fringes of Falmouth town with all the facilities that Falmouth has to offer, this home has been used as a high-quality holiday let and also a family and would suit either purpose.  We particularly love the amazing roof terrace/upper deck that was created a few years ago and provides elevated, unobstructed views across the harbour in privacy from anyone else.  A special home in the heart of one of Cornwall's most sought after towns.

To find a home so centrally sited within Falmouth enjoying breathtaking views and with the high-quality sizeable accommodation on offer is very rare, the views are enjoyed from the main reception room, two bedrooms and the ‘upper deck’ reception space as well as a balcony off the main bedroom and a further large terrace/balcony off the ‘upper deck’.  The property has been subjected to a renovation program in 2017/2018 which incorporates a sprinkler system, plumbing, replacement roofing, new bathrooms and sanitary ware, the installation of the roof terrace/balcony and wiring amongst other things.  

The property is fully double glazed and fitted with high quality replacement windows in keeping with the character of the home and also has gas central heating.  Parking is available as the owners rent a parking space on the adjacent quay which may be transferred to the new owner by arrangement and a fee payable to Falmouth Haven. 

A literal ‘stone’s throw’ from King Charles Quay, the new owners will enjoy the waterside life in the heart of Falmouth. Quay Street is tucked off Church Street – one of the towns main streets and is home to a few exclusive homes as well as restaurants, a Public House and other commercial premises.  

King Charles Quay and Falmouth Haven are a few footsteps from your front door.  Moorings are available from Falmouth Haven.

The town of Falmouth stands on one of the largest natural harbours in the world, the property enjoys views over the inner harbour with a constantly changing marine vista to enjoy.

There is golf at the clifftop course in Falmouth (eighteen holes) or nearby Budock Vean (nine holes) and within half a mile is the Falmouth Dell Railway Station with a short journey into Truro, allowing anyone to then transfer to the mainline either east or west.
